We sift through the massive pile of E3 games that were announced and shown at this week's conference. What did we like? What did we hate? More importantly, what were the weirdest moments of the event? Find out in this episode!

Joel's return from vacation heralds the gang reuniting, and the discussion of some top notch video games. This episode covers talk of the wonderful War of the Chosen expansion for XCOM 2, and a review of David Cage's new game Detroit: Become Human.

Chris brings guest cohost Nick to the table, literally. Join us for this laid back episode as we fish around various subjects from graphics cards to games that are a little less family friendly on this deep dive under the fridge.

Spencer is hot on the trail of the coveted Uncharted 4 Platinum trophy...will he ever get his hands on it? Meanwhile, he finds time to jump into the coop prison break simulator A Way Out, while Chris hangs out with the President of the United States, and Joel gets way into Vermintide 2's balance patches.…

It's our 50th episode! To celebrate the milestone we did...nothing particularly special. But I have to say, what a great episode to mark the occasion. Joel fights back the rat apocalypse in Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Spencer finds his first "Platinum Worthy" game in Uncharted 4, and Chris forgets to play anything.…

In this game hopping adventure of an episode, Chris takes us through the incredibly bad remake of Secret of Mana, Joel commands his very own Bomber Crew during World War 2, and Spencer becomes Big Brother in Orwell's far too-real government software simulator.

A heated debate on the merits of player skill in Just Cause 3, the travesty of a game that is Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Joel's adventures in the small town of Stardew Valley, and more are discussed as we jump from game to game to game after reminiscing about that sweet, sweet mid-2000s beverage: SoBe.

While Chris is immersed Matrix-style in Monster Hunter World, Joel and Spencer talk briefly about the games they've been playing, before deliving into the philosophy of game design and...some other crazy stuff.

We're finally back! And spend a little too much time talking about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Sorry everyone, but it is kind of a cultural phenomenon. And joining us on that journey is guest host, Drew. I'm sure you'll love his commentary as we discuss a couple Star Wars games, and Chris' depressing exploits in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.…

We're back after a great Thanksgiving break to talk about Puzzle Town, Cyberpunk Murder, and New Years Revolutions! But actually it's just a good friendly chat about what makes puzzle games memorable, how to handle a game backlog, and Joel's time commiting Cyberpunk Murder.

The fallout of Blizzcon 2017 hits hard at Fridge Logic Headquarters, as the trio is finally reunited after all too long. Spencer plays the best Mario game ever, Joel and Chris get backed into a corner.

Everyone's busy schedules almost resulted in a cancelled episode, but the state of the gaming industry these past couple weeks was fascinating enough for Joel and Specner to come together and talk about how crap everything is at the moment. Is there hope to be found in this new world of the terminally ill AAA Single Player game, and pay to win ...…

With Joel on vacation, Josh (from America) graciously agreed to be our guest host for this episode. It's a figurative roller coaster of emotion as we ride our way through the nostalgia filled loop-de-loops of 3D platformer A Hat in Time, explore the dark, twisted tunnels of ECHO, and scream down the unexpected peaks and valleys of the Battlefro ...…

Sorry folks, a surprise guest appearance by Josh from Japan (now Josh from America) and mystery man Casey means that the audio might not quite be up to snuff. On the plus side, this is already one of my favorite episodes of the podcast. We talk about some great games like Spintires, Harvest Moon, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and more!…

Being adults finally catches up with the hosts, when we have a deep discussion about what makes games fun in this new modern gaming era. Specifically, we discuss No Man's Sky, Fortnite, Destiny 2, and more!

You'll find out why this episode was almost called "Your Name The Hedgehog," but it was easily beat by Joel's thorough explanation of Epic Games' Microtransaction Happy Shooter, Fortnite. Also, Spencer plays sports in Pyre and Chris rages against the Switch in Sonic Mania.

There's another giveaway! Find out how you can win $20 to your favorite online game shop by listneing to the episode in which Spencer and Chris play hours of Rocket League on a "scenic" road trip, Chris discovers the joys of mobile gaming with Ridiculous Fishing, and Joel plays just like, a ton of really good games. A ton.…

Spencer travels down memory lane with possibly the best remastered game ever made, Crash Bandicoot for the PS4. Chris dives into a beautiful early access game called Dead Cells, and Joel hates Zelda now. It's a symphony of frustration and tangents on this episode of Fridge Logic!

Sorry about the shorter episode this time around, scheduling conflicts for America's birthday roughed up our usual recording session. But never fear! There was still time to sit down and talk about the latest Diablo 3 expansion, which introduces a new character class. And Hitman, the game Joel has been waiting a long time to play. Because he li ...…

During our wrap up of E3 2017, we discuss the Death of Bethesda, how crappy plots for Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed got, and a lightning round of our favorite games from E3. Tragically, we covered so much that we forgot to even mention Far Cry 5. Please forgive us.

Spencer talks about his CD collection, Joel admits to a heinous crime, and Chris learns to share his corner with others. We also talk about super heros fighting with Injustice 2, Zero gravity dance parties in Overwatch, and the best possible last man standing scenarios in Player Unknown's Battlegrounds.…

Ever wanted to go into the inner minds of random people on the street, then date the people that go inside with you? Me neither! But man, Chris sure does put up a convincing argument for that as he explains Persona 5. Better than I just did. Plus, Joel fulfills Switch Destiny by playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe...in public! And Spencer is afraid of ...…

It's time to move on as Chris and Joel finally beat Zelda Breath of the Wild. In fact, Joel already has, as he fights for his life in the modern-day Hunger Games simulator PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Meanwhile, Spencer makes a decent living as a space trucker in Elite Dangerous, and falls in love with VR again.…

The contest is over, the winner has been announced. Who is it? Tune in to find out! And then continue to listen, as it's Switchion Accomplished for Chris. He finally dives into his own copy of Breath of the Wild and he's got a story or two to tell. Meanwhile, Joel spends more money on Overwatch during their Uprising event, and Spencer colonizes ...…

We're giving away games! Find out how you can win our contest by tuning in to the return of Chris' WoW corner, Spencer's nonsensical time hopping adventures in Dragonball Xenoverse 2, and Joel puts forth a fantastic discussion on gaming habits, including a story about how his legs stopped working after an extended play session. It's the best.…

Recorded just a day after Saint Patrick's Day, Spencer tries to ignore his hangover to talk about Zelda: Breath of the Wild with Joel. Chris travels to the ends of the Earth for a Nintendo Switch. Afterward, Spencer gets worried about Mass Effect Andromeda, Chris makes some wild assumptions about Horizon Zero Dawn, and Joel takes his dad to work.…

It's the one year anniversary of Fridge Logic! Thanks for listening to us. As a special treat, we do...pretty much exactly what we've been doing since we started. Chris and Spencer paint a word picture of Horizon Zero Dawn, Joel buys a Nintendo Switch and starts a discussion that echos back through time, and Spencer becomes Batman.…

Back from our International business meeting Joel decides to become a felon, while Chris gets controller throwing mad when he finally plays For Honor, and Spencer raves about the amazing first hour of Prey, as well as the oddity of working for a Goblin King in Dragonquest VIII.

Josh from Japan joins us for our first ever International episode! This lively discussion covers the arcade scene in Japan, what it's like to live there, and how gaming culture in general differs from America. Also, Joel gets passionate about keyboards. Spencer can't pronounce Japan. Chris plays For Honor.…

A brief discussion of WoW leads to Spencer's extreme confusion about the entire Universe of Warcraft. But he's too busy having his mind blown with the incredible total conversion mod for XCOM2, Long War 2 to care. Joel plays one of the greatest meta indie games of all time, Pony Island. Yes that's a genre. And Chris finally plays something fun, ...…

Back from the holiday break, we've spent way too much money on video games. Join us as we try to save the world in XCOM 2, find some semblence of enjoyment from WoW, and create the Grand Unified Theory of Overwatch. Then we go off on a lot of tangents. Special Guest: Chris' Dad!

Join us for this special non-holiday holiday episode as we dive into some amazing games, like the mobile sensation Super Mario Run, the absolutely insane sounding Let it Die, and the really rather fun Batman: A TellTale Series. Merry Christmas to all!

Everyone gets sucked into a black hole when a coop game of Ultimate Chicken Horse gets amazingly out of hand. Joel takes back Earth from the way more powerful alien threat in XCOM 2, and Chris lives out the plot of The Iron Giant in Titanfall 2.

Happy Halloween! Join Chris and Spencer as they open the Fridge of Fright to discover just what scares them the most in video games...and in life. Plus, some great spooky podcast suggestions, and discussion on the original FEAR, Fatal Frame: Maiden of the Black Water for Wii U.

While in Portland, Joel misses a miracle when Chris plays a game other than World of Warcraft. Then Spencer peaks into the Fridge of Fright when he talks about Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, the premise of which freaks him out way more than the actual game.

Joel relaxes while playing God in Banished, Spencer talks about the trope-defying sci-fi puzzler The Turning Test. Then everyone discusses how most games shy away from meaningful themes, when the most memorable ones don't.

Listen in to find out how to win our latest game giveaway! Plus, with Joel gone, Chris and Spencer are left to talk about 80's movies, Half-Life 2, Cyan World's wonderful new game Obduction, and of course, World of Warcraft Legion.

Was No Man's Sky as bad as everyone says? Probably. But we offer a few good alternatives to scratch that spacey itch after some discussion on the marketing and development of the game. Plus, Chris and Joel take us through an impromptu history lesson of World of Warcraft in preparation for the new expansion.…

Joel has lunch. And he plays an interesting indie game called Moon Hunters. Chris still can't get out of the deep, deep WoW hole he's been in. And Spencer finds love for a hated genre in Enter the Gungeon.

In which we discuss the brand new Monster Hunter Generations for 3DS, the quite cool coop gameplay of Dying Light, and the hit indie game from the makers of Limbo, Inside. Also, Joel doesn't remember Jumanji. What's up with that?

Joel's back! And he played a fantastic little indie game called Rebel Galaxy. But also a lot of Doom. Spencer finally gets around to the phenomenal Witcher 3, and Chris brings up some very good (but negative) points about Pokemon Go.

Come get excited with us! There were so many new games announced during this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo! Battlefield 1, Horizon Zero Dawn, and South Park The Fractured But Whole are just some of the titles we talk about during our extensive coverage of the event.

Overwatch is officially here! And we played a ton of it. New to the game? Played more than we have? Don't know what it even is? Listen in! There's also time travel madness in Spencer's adventures with Quantum Break, and we finally, finally talk about Child of Light (Or do we?)

Chris loves the new Doom game, as does everyone on the planet, but Spencer struggles to figure out the differences between John Romero and John Carmack. Spencer goes on to talk about the latest entry in the Uncharted series, which expands into a discussion of gaming culture as a whole. Then Joel talks about the PS4 shooter, Alienation.…

I think I can speak for all of us when I say Enter the Gungeon looks awesome. And by signing up for our newsletter, you can enter a contest to own a copy! Also covered this week is the "Better-than-Dark-Souls" Nioh alpha, the amazingly terrifying 2D adventure horror game Oxenfree, and the disappointing/maybe it's going to be fine state of Fallo ...…
